by
@queerdeities
“Armazi” is a performance art piece representing a Georgian pagan God with dual roles of the supreme (ruler of the sky, thunder, rain, and vegetation) and the warrior character.
The performance is part of the project Queer Deities in Migration led by the Georgian artist duo Uta Bekaia and Dato Koridze, alongside curator Giorgi Rodionov, in collaboration with queer artists from the Caucasus region and beyond. The project seeks to draw connections between the personal histories of South Caucasian queer artists in migration and the traits of corresponding deities.
“Armazi” performance features artist Fagatta originally coming from Tbilisi now based in Berlin. And the sound artist äsc3ea from “In the mountains” residency program. Accompanied by a space setting by Dresden based artist-duo “die Blaue Distanz”.
